Typing Test

[jbrooksuk]

Hey all,

A few months back, I wrote a typing test for my friend. He's learning to touch type faster, so I created a little program for him to see how fast he types.

I know this is not brilliant and that there are hundreds of others around which do more than mine, but it's a personal preference.

Typing Test allows you to create your own sentences, through the use of INI files. I never made an interface to add sentences on, but it's very simple. Open up data.ini (script location). You should already see six sentences. To add another just add this to the bottom of the file:

[Type7]
Sentence=This is a sentence, type it quickly!

Change Type7 to the amount of sentences (next would be 8) and the sentence value. You shouldn't have to re-open Typing Test before the sentence becomes active, however if your sentence does not appear soon, re-open Typing Test.

Have fun,

James

Yeah, I never implemented anti-cheating...

Edit: But then I had no need, he wanted to learn not to cheat. You cant cheat at typing.

Whoops, I saved the wrong screencap.

I usually do it at 83WPM.

But seriously, I like it. I'll give it to my mum, as she does about 10WPM.

Awesome! Thanks Kirbeh.

My Dad distributed it at work as part of a learning thing.

Nicely done!

Is that normal for you? I used the maths from a Javascript version I wrote years back.

Hm, it says "you made an error" All the time to me (?)

Probably something simple I'm doing wrong?

You press start, then type. It's case-sensitive..
